so long and thanks for all the code

The dev version 0.2.7 RC1 of Vox is now available with a lot of new features and bug fixes; the minimum system requirement is now Leopard, change needed for better support of new systems and the integration of new features.

These are the most important changes:

Cue sheet support

iTunes Drag & Drop support

Menubar controls

Integrated "Bauer stereophonic-to-binaural" option

BiQuad filter for Equalizer

Retuned Equalizer

"Move to Trash" confirmation option

MP3/MP2/MP1 prescan option

Timeout for artwork downloads

Musepack SV8 support

SD2 and OGA support

64-bit floating-point WAVE/AIFF support

Added High Efficiency and Low Delay AAC profile export option

Removed all MP3 related code

Removed QuickTime dependency

Dropped Mac OS X 10.4 support

Bug fixes

Note: this is an RC version, so only bug fixes will be added in the final stable release.

last.fm doesn't have enough covers and i believe discogs and allmusic would cover 90% of covers (not everyone listens to mainstream bands).

Allmusic also claims to have the world's largest digital archive of music, including approximately six million songs fully digitized, as well as the world's largest cover art library, with over half a million cover image scans.

CUE support is really great. Would be even better (may it be one of the items in the wishlist for next version?), if Vox could automatically guess encoding of the .cue file, or there would be an ability to select an encoding from the list, either on the fly (like it is done in TextWrangler) or in the Preferences.
Thanks, Alessio!

Thanks for Vox, it’s a great small music player. It plays my Ogg Vorbis files and displays album artwork alright, two things which the bloated iTunes fail to do for me (lousy Ogg support and no reading of local artwork files…). I just made a small donation, nothing big, just one or two drinks. ;)

If i may add a feature request: i miss Media Keys support on my iMac. With other players, i tend to use media keys for play/pause (quite useful at work when i'm typing and the phone rings), and skipping tracks. I think macbooks pros and recent macbooks have media keys too. Now media keys support might be tricky, especially if several applications are listening to the signals. But if you feel like taking a shot at it…
